I recently rooted my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.3 using odin. I loved the features, I flashed the ROM CyanogenMod and had that working just fine. Until just recently I made the mistake of installing a new ROM. I used ROM manager and decided to go with stratatak7 . Now after doing this, my phone has been downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.1 and is not running properly and crashes. So I went back into ROM manager and tried to get CyanogenMod back, but am unable too, every time I try to install I get an error. I am looking for ANY way to fix this. I mainly want to get my phone back to COMPLETE factory settings and Android 4.3. Im currently running Build Number Intergalactic 2.5.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Step #1 - Dont use ROM manger to install roms.
Step #2 - Flash back to stock and start over. If you need help with this there are stickies all over the general and q&a sub forums.

All by itself? Or did you manage to flash back to stock? If so the fix is to boot into recovery and factory reset. Also note it will take a little longer to boot after a stock flash (or wiping the cache) as the cache needs to be rebuilt.

Got my brand new nexus today, rooted it using toolkit, then i wanted to install a rom. Everything went fine, flashed eagle blood, everything went fine. Then i downloaded an app and it took for ever to download so i rebooted my phone, then i was stuck with the dreaded animation lock. Now no matter what i do, i cant get past the animation. Still have access to CWM, tried a factory reset/cache wipe...but no success...
Any idead?
P.S. It's not me, it's my friends nexus! I got skyrocket!
Flash the stock ROM on the phone. You have access to recovery so use it then after you verify you can boot with the stock ROM then try flashing another ROM on again.
Personally as it is your friends phone if (s)he doesn't know how to flash ROMs then I would leave the phone stock.
No idea what caused you from being able to boot to this issue but this is my advice.
by that you mean to what??? because on the skyrocket flashing to stock rom is quite simple, via ODIN + Stock TAR...but how to do it on nexus?

Go into cwm, do a wipe and also go into advanced and wipe dalvik. You should then be able to reflash your custom rom to fix your boot loop. If thats successful then go back to cwm and make a NANDROID backup so they have a restore point if anything goes wrong in the future.
If you want to flash back to stock its quite simple and can all be done from my ToolKit. Its basically going to http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html and downloading the latest factory rom for your model, moving it to the correct folder in the ToolKit and then selecting option 8 from the ToolKit to extract the images and flash it.
Mark.

I've run into the same issue tonight going back to Apex 1.0.2 from the 4.0.4 leak. I'm trying the suggestion below to wipe and re-flash the ROM. I'll report back when I'm finished.
Edit: Yep, it worked!
Hi guys, first of all there were similar posts, but couldn't find anything that looked like my problem
Im currently running CM 7.2-GIO-KANG [Update: February 13, 2012]...and CWM 5.2.0.7
Let me tell you how i ended up with this version
I bought my phone..flashed it with Darkshados rooted rom V2...then i used simply gio for a while..after which I upgrade to gio pro 1.3...and gio pro 1.4...after which i switched to CM 7.2.
Ive been told that this version shouldn't have any WiFi problems..but when my phone is screen locked for a while..the WiFi shuts off...and reactivate when I unlock it....this is pain..cause i use whats app...and if the WiFi isn't on when its locked...i don't get my messages.
SO i thought maybe...its because my model firmwear changed or something...and decided to flash back to stock...and install CM 7.2 form stock.
I had reason to believe this because...my phone also registered my netwrok provider as BELL...but im actualy with VIRGIN(Altho virgin uses bells network)...the previous roms didn't do this and showed virgin.
So i decided to go to downloading mode...and re flash to Stock V2 for the s5660M. And as expected I got a bootloop. Following the instruction for the bootloop fix..i went into stock recovery, installed CWM again...and wipe data..mounted partitions..and then installed arpegio..just to check..but i keep getting stuck on the boot screen every time. finally i used CWM to restore a CM 7.2 backup i made..and managed to get that working.
Anyone have any ideas to why i cant flash stock and another rom anymore
Please and Thank you^^
Flash stock rooted by darkshado with Odin. then go to stock recovery and wipe data, then r restart and wait for boot. Don't install cwm yet.
Sent from my GT-S5660 using XDA App

Thanks it worked XD

no problem. I have the exact phone and situation as you, so if you need help just let me know.
Hey guys i have a samsung i747 from rogers and i'm trying to install custom roms. I've obviously rooted it and installed CM recovery and downloaded roms and gapps. So far i've tried liquidsmooth 2.8. Avatar Rom. Cyanogen. but nothing seems to be working. Every single one of the them keeps telling me that my setup wizard had crashed and my gapps weren't working. I earlier had a Status 7 error installing cyano and avatar so i flashed d2att's 07.05.13 kernel, but that didn't seem to help. I tried running a different version of the clockworkmod recovery too. I've hardly ever "dirty" flashed. Someone help me out here i hate custom roms!!!
Wipe
Data
Cache
Delvik Cache
and Factory Reset.
Make sure you're flashing the correct GApps for android 4.2.x
Flashing a kernel has nothing to do with a status 7 error.
A status 7 error points to a outdated recovery or bootloader.
You should get ANY errors.
If you hate flashing why do it??
I honestly don't get that...
If you're here to make your phone to look "cool" you're in the wrong place.

I would get TWRP recovery.. wipe dalvik / factory reset. and re-flash your rom.. I'm on Rogers as well and the status 7 error means that your recovery / bootloader is outdated.
So start by getting the most recent TWRP. I got it from goo.
btw: if you don't like custom rom, i suggest going to the sammobile site and getting your factory firmware. Use Odin to reflash back to stock. That should solve your hiatus towards custom roms...
correction
thanks guys but idk i just tried flashing a custom rom at 4.1.2 and then went up from the there and it was fine... for the status 7 i just adjusted the coding for it so it didn`t have to check the model and this was typed up like at like 2 in the morning where i`m from i meant to say i hate stock roms LMAO:silly:

Phone: Samgsun Galazy SIII
Model: SPH-I710
Carrier Sprint
Originally rooted 4.2 with ClockworkMod bootloader and SuperUser
Updated to 4.3 without issue.
Sometime in the past 6 months, lost root access, but wasn't needing it, so no biggie.
Today: Saw system update for android 4.4
ClockworkMod boot loader startup in the update process, and did as I always have, installing the unknown zip (which is su) and fixing root and boom.
Boot looped at the blue glowy samgsung screen.
I have tried wiping the cache's and now have even toasted my user data so I have to rebuild everything again ANYWAY, but that damn phone still won't boot!!!!
Where is (not through rapidgator bull****) the stock rom I need to ODIN transfer to get this paperweight to be a phone again?
thanks

Seems strange that this happened. Since you have a custom recovery, the OTA should have failed. This will put you on 4.4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738533 . If you are bootlooping, you could try to flash another rom. I would go with an MK3 zip though like the stock one, moar, wicked, project X...but make sure it is 4.3 (MK3).

I eventually found a 4.4.2 full stock ROM and was able to get that over. Of course this wasn't until after some sight suggested a wipe user data could help, so I'm re-building the phone from the base...*sigh* It happens. I'm about due for an upgrade anyway, so I can make due.
Thanks for the response,

Hello I am mostly noob in regards of rom flashing. I have successfully flashed cyanogenmod 10 after rooting my i317. however i decided to revert back today and used clockwork recovery to flash rooted stock rom:
Stock_Rooted_JB_4.1.2_SGH-i317M_(t0ltecan)_signed
continually rebooting.
After that, ever since it has been continually rebooting.
used clockwork to flash back cyanogenmod it still reboots just after finished loading.
tried odin 307 following:
I317-ODIN-UCUBMK6-rooted
Also reboting.
Not sure what went wrong. I also cleaned all the caches disk data etc., no avail.
I think flashing Stock_Rooted_JB_4.1.2_SGH-i317M_(t0ltecan)_signed did something wrong to the phone. Is there help avialable regarding this?
For now at least I can get to odin or clockwok using the phone shortcut. Thanks!!!
Do you have an i317 or 317m ? After using ODIN did you do a factory reset using stock recovery

Thread moved to Q&A where it should have been posted originally. Please post in the correct sections, thanks.
I had the same issue. Had to go to samobile.com and download the stock firmware from there and flash it via desktop Odin 3.07. Then from there when I was back on the stock firmware I then flashed a recovery and then rooted it
